Why is it impossible to use the tethering by BT between the Archos Gen 8 and more android phone ?
fortunately on the nexus one i wil be create a hotspot
but for another phones have you a solution ?
Hy with Samsung Galaxy 9000 it works very easy. Build up a Mobile Hotspot on the SGS and Connect with to the Archos, works perfectly.

why it don't work for anothers phones
n1 by eg ?
You can get it to work on N1 too ... but I don't think it is built into the phone though.
I use CyanogenMod 6 on my N1, and there are only options to do Wifi Hotspot (which burns battery power like there is no tomorrow) or USB tehtering.
But if you use the app called Wireless Tether, you can use BT tethering between your Gen8 and your phone.
Rockstar from ArchosFans' forums made a vid on how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4hBqIyI-U
i use the same
but for many android phones it is not possible
Yeah, I've been posting this same question all over the place begging for someone to help me tether to my Moto Cliq (rooted with tethering enabled). I even asked Archos and they sent me some generic response that didn't help at all.
I know my Cliq can tether, cause my PC can connect to it. But with my Archos, all I get is the "paired, but not connected" nonsense. No matter what I do. It's the same with my N900 as well. I am starting to think that the Bluetooth module on the Archos is defective. But I don't have any other Bluetooth devices to test it out with.
This thing is almost useless to me without tethering as a possibility.
most phones (including android ones) provides ad-hoc wifi tethering only (via 3rd party software), and archos cannot detect ad hoc wifi network.

Android does not officially support AdHoc Networks. Once we have root we can make this work easily.

I tried the same with my wifes inc and it didn't work.
iPhone 4 and BT Tethering
1. Remove all previous BT pairing between iPhone and Archos 70.
2. Se both BT to active and discoverable.
3. Once you see iPhone under "bluetooth devices" in Archos, get it paired.
4. At this point, you will see that status on Archos is "paired but not connected"
5. In Archos, goto "Cell phone tethering", you should be asked to set up a tethering profile for Bluetooth or USB. Select Bluetooth and a new iPhone PAN profile will be setup.
6. Select checkbox for "Tether"
7. At this point, you will see Archos device in iPhone changed to "Connected", and a blue bar at the top says "Internet Tethering".
Bear in mind if iPhone or Archos goes to sleep, my experience is that the Internet connection is gone, no matter if the connection status remains. Therefore, please do not allow iPhone or Archos to go to sleep while you are using the Internet tethering connection.
Hope this works for you.

WiFi Tethering has been introduced with Froyo for most phones. Before that you needed root and some app doing it.
WiFi Tethering with my Desire works great, but I wasn't able to setup Bluetooth Tethering between them. Like there are profiles missing to establish a network connection.
Try the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, there is a 30 day free trial and it give you PAN. I have a HTC Eris and bluetooth tethering is not possible, it crashes the phone.
I have an Espresso running CM 6.1 and WiFi Hotspot works... Will I be able to use it with the Archos 70?
HTC Magic with Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the app 'Wifi Tethering' in bluetooth mode works perfectly.
I thought wifi tethering was going to eat the battery too.
Was able to tether from ~90% to ~10% for over 6 hours continuously on an Evo running cm6.1.1 with the built-in mobile hotspot.
I posted a .apk in post #3 that has worked for all the rooded android phones i have tried.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887018
use mifi or similar product, i use a product from ZTE and work well. better don't use your android phone for wifi thetering, it will drain your phone battery much faster
use you phone to search for "google wireless tether" and download the apk this is free and works great for BT tethering between my 101 and moto droid 1.

This does not work for us with Sprint. Sprint uses CDMA not GSM. No APN on my Sprint HTC Hero. Tethering works perfectly with my Laptop and my HTC Hero using Bluetooth. NOT with Archos 70 IT.

2.0.5pre7 wireless tether.
I have successfully paired my nexus 7 to my evo 3d and my HP laptop. However, it will not connect to either one. There is no connect option visible either. Both the laptop and my evo 3d connect fine to each other and other Bluetooth devices. Is my nexus 7 faulty or am I missing something?
Edit: ok it connects fine to my Bluetooth headphones, so why won't it connect to my phone or my laptop?

Thank you. That does seem to allow me to tether. But why won't my tablet connect on its own though the Bluetooth setting?

Not sure if this helps, but I have Verizon and it seems that they block Bluetooth tethering while on 4G LTE. I could get my phone and nexus 7 to pair, but wouldn't connect. However when I switches my phone to 3G, my tablet and phone connected no problem. Its nice BC when they are connected your tablet automatically uses your phones internet. If I just want to use 3G, I go this route. When I want to connect them while my phone is on 4G LTE, I have to use foxfi/pdanet.
In other words connecting while the phone is on 4G seems to be blocked. Switch to 3G and see if that doesn't work to connect.
Hope this helps.

I have the same issue as you. It may be that our phone don't have the right BT Profile for "Internet Access".
Are there any other options? I've tried FoxFi and that didn't create the "Internet Access" profile either. I'm on a Samsung Stratosphere with 2.3.

I have also been trying to tether my new Nexus 7 with my old Xperia X10 mini. I can pair but not connect. I can't access my Bluetooth settings on my Nexus. I can't pass files vie Bump either. I can't get the wifi tether to the phone working either: My phone doesn't allow me to download Foxfi, my phone says PDAnet doesn't work on my version of Android. I bought the Nexus in the UK but I'm using it in Germany. My phone is with O2 which typically requires an additional €20 charge to tether. Any advice would be appreciated.
I think you folks are missing a setting?
Hi
Aside from pairing, on the device whose connection is being shared (i.e the phone), you need to goto settings-->More-->Tethering And Portable Hotspot, and make sure that 'bluetooth tethering' is selected.
This works on my Galaxy Note. 4.04 ICS
No 3rd party apps are required to do this. Note that Bluetooth PAN only came to android in 3.0. If your phone runs 2.3x or below, you'll need the software discussed elsewhere in this thread to make BT tethering work.
Whatever internet connection the phone has is shared, whether wifi or 3g
NB: Its a bit flakey! OK once connected, but requires BT to be cycled off/on on both ends...

Theres a wee bug in android where after a new pair, restart, or occasionally on bluetooth disconnections bluetooth tethering will become disabled on the host device.
Go to the device with the Internet Connection and (on ICS / JB) hit Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> Bluetooth tething and check it.
You'll have to redo this regularly but combined with an occasional bluetooth off/on unpair / repair this will work.
(Nexus 7 / Galaxy Nexus - both rooted stock)
Hi
If you don't have the screen below (or equiv) mentioned in my previous post, then you wont be able to tether without using 3rd party apps. I guess the BT PAN profile is missing where this option is not available.

Thanks for this. All was working fine between my UK (stock European with a few Vodafone apps) Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII) and Note 10.1 until I upgraded to 4.1.1 on my S3. It seems this option was added then or disabled by default. All working splendidly now, cheers.
Droid Razr Nexus 7 connection
All,
You can tether the 4G LTE on a nexus 7 you just have to enable bluetooth tetheriing in Setting > Tethering & Mobile Hotspot > Bluetooth tethering
Without doing this, it won't link via bluetooth tethering.As for laptop, you have to allow access point in your laptop in order to allow the Nexus 7 to fully connect to your laptop to share files.
Cheers!
This thread has the most similar problems that I have. By me the problem is opposite. I need to get internet connection on my phone (xperia U) and the only way is through tethering through my iphones hotspot. Bluetooth says paired but not connected and wifi hotspot isn't found in the list of wifi networks.
Bluetooth tethering worked fine on ICS but I downgraded to GB and now nothing. I can't install 3rd party apps yet because no internet on phone.
Is there no other option? Is it either GB, lag free phone but no tethering option or laggy ICS phone with tethering??
Hello,
I am trying to use FoxFi with my Nexus 7 tablet. I have a Photon 4G that I am running it on. I just did a factory reset on my Photon and my tablet is brand new. I can connect for only a few minutes and my Nexus 7 will drop connection but FoxFi shows that it is still turned on, just does not show it is connected anymore. I've made sure that any timeouts have been disabled, I have no app killer on my tablet or phone. Everything is up to date. Bluetooth DUN connection works fine when using PDANet, Open Garden, and FoxFi but I can't get a lot of the google applications to work when using that method.
FoxFi shows up on my tablet fine, connects fine but after 30 seconds to a minute it will disconnect and then maybe 5 minutes later it will reconnect only to drop the connection another 30 seconds later. I also did a factory reset on my tablet. Both are back to factory settings and they are still having the same problem.
I saw there was another problem along these lines and they said that the problem was an app killer. I don't have any of those installed.
Anyone have any other ideas? I am fresh out of them.
Regards,
locohammerhead
Did you ever come to a solution? I have the same exact problem.

Foxfi just doesn't seem to be all that reliable. I can start it on my phone and have a hotspot up and nothing will be able to see it until I clear the apps data and restart the phone.

It's a FoxFi quirk. Play with it enough and it will resolve itself.
For instance, installed FoxFi on my Droid Charge, connected fine to my Nexus 7, put the Charge in my purse, and a few minutes later the Nexus loses connection. Pull out the Charge and it still claims to be connected, or claims to not be running while having the icon in the notification bar.
Install the Proxy, and the Nexus 7 cannot connect. Set the Nexus to use the Proxy settings, and it works great for a while, then won't connect. Have to delete the proxy settings on the Nexus and go back to DHCP to make it work while proxy is enabled on the Charge. Annoying.
Now I tend to put the Charge in my purse with the screen still on to ensure my signal. lol This is on the replacement Charge, the original would keep the connection solid without the screen on without issue. Still tweaking the replacement's settings.
I got rid of Foxfi. I flat out couldn't stay connected while on the go. Nexus 7 would lose connection with Foxfi / Samsung Prevail every block I I walked. Annoying. I would get the "out of range" on the tablet in wifi connections but the phone/ the Foxfi app would still show as broadcasting. I use Open Garden now and I stay connected solid.

I know it's not rocket science. I consider my technically sound.
But for the life of me, I can't tether my Nexus 7 to my Galaxy S3 using both Wifi Hotspot AND Bluetooth.
With Wifi Hotspot, my Nexus 7 shows connected and has excellent signal strength, but I cannot connect to any website or access the play store. It's like no data is going through.
The same with my bluetooth connect. It shows it's paired and connected, but no internet data.
I called Fido (my carrier and they say I have tethering enabled on my account - of course it should be enabled cause I've tethered before)
Please help me with this.
I've tethered my N7 to my Evo LTE with wifi tons of times. Are you sure the phone is actually pushing out data? Try tethering your laptop or something to it to see if it's the phone or tab.

I've rebooted countless times on both devices.
Are you rooted for both devices? Do you use the built-in tether option on the S3 or do you use a third party app?
I'm non-rooted for both my devices.
Does your data plan allow tethering? I'm able to tether my Nexus to my Lumia 710 but no data passes through. I need to enable the "WiFi Hotspot" feature on T-Mobiles site for an additional monthly cost.

He said in the OP he has tethering on his plan >.>
On another note... I'm on Tmobile and I tether from my G2 to both laptop and tablet, and I dont pay any extra fees
When you tether from bluetooth, pull down the notification drawer and look at the bottom.
Does it say "Bluetooth Tethered" or does it say "No Internet Connection" instead?
For me, I know even after pairing my phone and my tablet, I have to go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Tethering and Portable Hotspot > and check off Bluetooth Tethering.
And after that, sometimes I have to go back to the bluetooth menu of either device and click on the other device so it actually connects.
If its working, you should see the words "Connected" below your phone in the bluetooth menu of your tablet.
And the notification drawer should say "Bluetooth Tethered"
Not sure what may be wrong with your wifi hotspot though.

I called to check and the rep says I do. But he does sound like a newbie though.
I'll call back and see if another rep (hopefully more knowledgeable) can assist me.
Thanks for all who chimed with your suggestions. I will press thanks for all of you.
I called back Fido and everything seemed normal. Tethering was enabled as it always should on my account.
What he did was push some information to the server which I guess automatically sets up my phones settings to match up with Fidos settings. Told me to power cycle for 30 seconds after we hung up. I did so, and after it started up, I heard a notification on my Nexus 7 which I knew instantly that whatever he did worked.
On my tablet I use PDAnet from the Play Market.
On my phone I use FoxFi from the Play Market.
Both Apps are free & usually do not require ROOT on either device.
1) Once both Apps are installed turn on Bluetooth on your tablet. (Find your Settings App either in your App Drawer or by pulling your Notification Bar & selecting the Settings button next to your rotation lock.)
2) Open PDAnet on the tablet.
3) Hit CONFIGURE in the main screen of PDAnet.
4) Select ANDROID (BLUETOOTH).
5) Now open FoxFi on your phone.
6) Check the box next to ACTIVATE BLUETOOTH DUN. This will turn on your Bluetooth & make your device discoverable.
7) A warning box will appear. Select YES.
8) Go back to your tablet & PDAnet.
9) Hit the option to start scanning.
10) After a few seconds your phone should appear.
11) Select the name of your phone. Mine was ADR6350.
12) On your tablet select CONNECT.
13) A warning will appear. Check the box that says I TRUST THIS APPLICATION. Then select OK.
Open your tablet's Chrome Browser & try opening a website. You should be up & running now.

Do not worry, just set yr phone hotspot security to WEP ,it should work. I faced d same problem with you in d begining. Try it!
EDIT: As of May 25th, 2013, I have still NOT fixed this issue.
---------------------------
I have a major issue about tethering (USB and wifi) from my N4.
Here's my info that's hopefully sufficient.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Plan: 30 dollars (unlimited data [throttled at 5GB]/unlimited text/100 min)
ROM: CM 10.1 nightlies (5/1/2013 nightly)
Kernel: franco Kernel (Milestone 2)
Rooted: Yes
Unlocked: Yes
What I want: I want to tether (extremely prefer for it to be wirelessly) to my laptop/iPad with ease.
Devices I'm trying to tether:
1. Windows 7 64-bit desktop with wireless USB adapter.
2. Another Nexus 4 from my girlfriend (on Paranoid Android)
3. iPad running iOS 5, jailbroken
Attempts:
1. Tried using built-in wireless. It has a connection to connect to, but it says "limited connectivity". Cannot use internet.
1a. I've tried using Wifi Tether (https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/).
It doesn't work on "Auto" device profile.
It doesn't work with "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0 OR wlan1)". It worked with "Generic". I haven't tried the rest.
Result is that it is able to set-up the tether and have nothing failing in the "Show Log". However, my two laptops cannot detect them. My iPad sees it but cannot connect. It just says "cannot connect" and doesn't even ask me to input the password.
1b. I've used Barnacle Tether. Doesn't even work.
1c. I'm willing to try FoxFi and others I see, but I really do want Wifi Tether to work.
2. Tried using built-in USB tether. Doesn't work. It says "no connection" when done on my computer. Cannot use internet.
3. Tried using Wifi Tether. I cannot connect to it via iPad nor computer.
4. Tried using Clockwork USB tether. IT WORKS! HOWEVER, why only that method? Built-in USB doesn't work, nor do the other methods I tried. It's also annoying with the USB.
EDIT: T-Mobile finally figured out I was tethering. I was NOT using a user agent changer.
I have tried to search the general troubleshoot forum and also the franco Kernel and CM 10.1 threads about tethering issues, but it seems as if other people with my plan/kernel/ROM are getting tethering to work properly.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I have a stock Nexus 4 and have a similar issue with Wifi tethering.
Once I enable it other devices (a Galaxy Tab2 and an iPhone 3GS) can see the tether and connect to it successfully. Unfortunately, there is no transmission of data (through the browser or email client on either device).
I'm in the UK on Orange monthly tariff.
Any thoughts?

i've had exactly the same exerience as yours trying to tether a blackberry playbook to my N4. i was hoping it was the playbook!
i'm also on Orange.
i used to tether my previous android Hd2 using its wifi hotspot no problem.
Try different cable
I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I reloaded windows and tried all kinds of drivers. As it turns out the problem was the usb cable. After using a different cable everything started to work. I don't know if this helps but that was my experience

did you ever get the wifi hotspot working?

My hotspot works with PDAnet but not just using the android system.
Success! :good:
i fixed my tethering problems with Orange (EE) by simply phoning up customer support and asking them to switch on tethering. this was no problem for them. it apparently needs to be enabled at base. there is no charge for this and i was given a "1GB cap" which presumably comes off my 1GB data bundle.
i didn't have to make any changes in my phone settings.
a "service update" text came soon thereafter and following a restart the phone has since been tethering perfectly to my laptop and BB playbook.

5. Tried using Clockwork USB tether. IT WORKS! HOWEVER, why only that method? Built-in USB doesn't work, nor do the other methods I tried.
I have tried to search the general troubleshoot forum and also the franco Kernel and CM 10.1 threads about tethering issues, but it seems as if other people with my plan/kernel/ROM are getting tethering to work properly.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm on stock android 4.2 and my native tether works fine. Maybe it is a cm issue
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Using stock here and works fine. You are turning WiFi off, right?
I succesfully connected my Nexus 4 to my PC using USB tethering by installing the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" driver manually:
open the Device Manager
select "Nexus 4" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
select "Microsoft Corporation" in the left column
choose "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" in the right column
I still haven't found a solution and I've searched the N4 forums thoroughly. I've tried the VPN + Wifi Tether tweaked app. No luck.

That seems do-able, but really quite annoying. I have already found a USB tethering method that works but I will try this out when I have time.
Thanks. I'm still looking for a wireless method though.
It was dirt easy to tether on Virgin Mobile... Then again it was a different phone/ROM/plan.
For me what fixed the problem (partially) is enabling USB Debugging. That way I can tether via usb. Using the phone as a hotspot is still a no go. My Windows 8 laptop connects to the network however there's no internet access.
never had any issues tethering wirelessly or wired with tmobile, 5 years going strong(started with the g1). what kind of security settings are you using with the wireless tether built into the n4? im currently using wpa psk for security in the tether settings.
the problem is franco kernel. I had the same issue and basically flashed every other kernel and tethering started working.
EDIT: I flashed back to stock kernel and back. now franco kernel works.

I too had this exact problem. The 'stable' version 'Milestone 3' of the franco kernel would not connect correctly for USB tethering. My Windows 7 box would see the connection, but there was no internet. Flashing back to stock and faux kernels worked, and also the lasted nightly #163 franco kernel works (for me).
Hopefully this info helps someone else.
